If there´s one weather our boat don´t like while on the hard in the winter, it´s strong winds from south-southeast combined with wet snow. In those conditions Festina Lente is exposed to the elements. That´s just what we had today. The worst weather!
Went down to the harbor after work to check on the tarpaulin covering the boat. Wind was from south-southeast, wet snow was blowing sideways and the temperature was around freezing point. It was miserable; cold, wet and windy.
The tarpaulin was not in a bad condition but I just had to fix it a bit. A bit of fixing took me some 90 minutes of fighting. I think I might just have said some ugly words and cursing the weather gods.
Hopefully this was this year´s wet snow in combination with a strong south-southesterly wind, fingers crossed.
